Community Liaison & Family Resources

Our Community Liaison Site is designed to be a central place where families can find information, resources, and support to help their children thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally. On this site, you will find information about how we communicate with families, including parent communication protocols, upcoming events, and important dates. You’ll also find resources that support students’ social and emotional well-being, along with enrichment opportunities and programs offered through the District and our valued community partners.

Superintendent's Message

Welcome to the San Carlos School District, where joyful learning is rooted in strong relationships, a commitment to the whole child, and a shared vision for student success. Our Profile of a Learner is at the heart of everything we do—guiding how we nurture critical thinking, resilience, curiosity, and belonging in every student. This work is made possible by our exceptional teachers and staff, whose dedication and expertise create engaging, inclusive classrooms where all students can thrive.
 
We are proud to see the impact of this collective effort reflected in strong student outcomes, including continued growth on statewide assessments. These results, along with high levels of student engagement and attendance, speak to the strength of our programs and the meaningful relationships that define our schools. Our supportive families and broader community play an essential role in this success, partnering with us to create a learning environment where students feel connected, confident, and inspired each day.
 
At the same time, we remain focused on the future. Through our Facilities Master Plan, we are making important investments in our campuses—including modernized classrooms and upgraded HVAC systems—to ensure safe, comfortable, and innovative learning environments for all. Together, as a community, we are building a strong foundation for the future—one where every student is known, supported, and prepared to succeed.
 
With appreciation,
Jennifer Frentress
